GENRE
Craven is a short film based on a feature length cultural drama written by Robert Fullerton.
SETTING
The story is set in a rural community not far from the city.
It is fall and the landscape is bare. Organized crime and violence dominate the air waves, citizens wring their hands and wonder why this is happening.
It is a multicultural place with the look of diversity but underneath, all is not well and consumer culture runs the show.
